there's a friend of his he's look up to for awhile, maybe a role model, maybe someone he idolized, and that person just fuckin proved themslves to be a fuckin douchebag. so he's just sittin there shattered and wonderin what to do.
like the leader of a gang or something. they have to be charismatic. but at some point one of the kids might question what are they doin.
its certainly a song about questionin thats for sure. and its certainly somethin that you've taken for granted. that suddenly seems to be unworthy. and so youre just wonderin. and in a way its about growin up. because in the end the guy says, "or i might go alone".
In thier Live DVD, called home, Ed says the song is dedicated to his dad and at the end of the song they show a photo of his dad with his YoB and YoD. His father was an ordained minister and was quite close to him and I assumed was a big influence on him, hence the line, Who's gonna wear my crown. It's a reference to Jesus wearing a crown of thorns to atone for our sins. It's a great line.
